Taking this action makes them a “junta” and may affect their relations with other countries, he added.<br /><br />“If the Kiev regime started military actions against the country’s population, this is without doubt a very serious crime,” Putin said at All-Russia People&#39;s Front media forum.<br /><br />According to Putin current situation in East Ukraine is another proof Russia was right when it supported Crimeans, when they decided to have a referendum.<br /><br />“[Otherwise] it would have seen there the same things which are now happening in the east of Ukraine, or even worse,” he said. “That’s one more proof to the fact we did it all right and in time.”<br /><br />Putin believes that the use of force by the coup-imposed government in Kiev means that it’s actually a junta.<br /><br />“If current authorities in Kiev have done this [used force], then they are junta,” the president said. “For one thing, they don’t have nation-wide mandate. They might have some elements of legitimacy, but only within the framework of the parliament. The rest of the government bodies are for various reasons illegitimate.”<br /><br />Vladimir Putin described the use of force in eastern Ukraine as a “reprisal raid” and said that it would have an impact on Russian-Ukrainian relations. ............http://rt.com/news/154560-putin-junta-ukraine-attack/<br />24/4/14Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409482909880290151.post-58994877104091925772014-04-24T13:59:45.119+02:002014-04-24T13:59:45.119+02:00The people’s self-defense fighters in Ukraine’s Sl...The people’s self-defense fighters in Ukraine’s Sloviansk city together with a reinforcement that arrived from Krasny Liman, have rebuffed an attack of the Ukrainian military who are engaged in a special operation at the entrance to Sloviansk, local media reported on Thursday.....<br /><br />“The convoy of armoured vehicles has yielded ground.
